Disclosure of PHI for Public Interest and Benefit

The Privacy Rule allows the use and disclosure of PHI without getting an individual’s authorization. Situations where public health oversight, law enforcement, possible abuse or domestic violence of adults and minors and responding to legal and court proceedings are times when PHI might be shared. Regardless of the reasons, these types of disclosures must meet minimum necessary requirements for disclosure.
